Hey man this is brilliant. I can definitely see this channel blowing up, the fact you can make such great videos regardless of subs and views is mind blowing to me and I hope the hard work pays off. Keep it up
theShakes everyone starts
From
The bottom , we just rarely see it happen until someone is huge .
Matthew Bailey Clever way of putting it mate. Sometimes it’s nice to see the side of the internet that’s people doing what they do because they enjoy it.
theShakes exactly right ! And with the internet being so big it’s hard to come across people like this unless you know them or you’re a hater haha.
I need to do something like this for Amplitube and my solo live rig. awesome work!
Underrated vid
Awesome any update of the looper right now?
I gotta say, you are one talented dude. Thanks for the excellent how-to. Going to give it a whirl myself. Will share pics when completed!
This is a great idea. Even if you only want to make the board as a pedal trigger for your laptop.
Hi I’m building this myself how did you connect the arduino to the audio interface
Amazing video. Maybe you can make another video how it working?
Where's the mouse and keyboard? How do you log in to the computer and open the software each time lol
Great video! Im making one myself in the near future. But instead of an audrino i will take the circuitboard from a old keyboard and make the pedals mimic keystrokes to control Mobius.
I was thinking the same thing. Custom key mapping seems more straightforward imo
this is so cool. I work with the guy that built most of it. we have the prototype casing still!
That's awesome! I would love to see it and learn more about how the OG one works!
@@DidItMyself the original is called the little monster. Message me on Instagram @freddie_handley_music for more info about it and stuff
Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. Excellent video. Now a video to demo it.
Have you any Latenz between push the pedal to Start the Loop?
Thanks
Nick
Thumb up, a great tutorial, and an awesome result! How many musician are able to say something like: "I not even have my own custom guitar device (looper) I also MADE it by myself. Totally Amazing! My respect for all the work you had with this video and my very best regards from Germany, Chris
did you just copy and paste the code ino the arduino?
Need a guide here, stuck at connection between audio interface + arduino output midi + pc. unable to comunicate
Genius!!!! Thank you!!! I was searching for years to find what ed sheeran is using... thank you so much!! 🙏
Hey, can you tell me how you bind the pedals to the Sonnit programm? I have no Idea . when i try it and klick on the Icon with the Keybord logo ther are only numbers under each button but i cant change it. I gues the pedals are working...in mobius i can bind them but there i have to tab them two times zu switch between the tracks or for record or so... maybe Sonnit is easyer?!
I have just come across looping I'm using loopy pro on an iPad would this work with that kind of setup?
hi not sure if this will work but I made a racing sim setup with an old membrane keyboard and if you solder two wires together onto the board and then solder those wires to a button then open up a notepad you can make the keyboard type letters depending which two solder joints you wired together, Would this not be a much cheaper solution instead of an Arduino you buy an old membrane keyboard and create a bunch of shortcuts on the program for record clear loop etc. just a thought
You are a genius of a man
When the laptop turns off do you have to reset everything or will it come back at startup?
i have the arduino nano and the coding for it... how do you put the coding on to the arduino nano ??
Hi, friend. Thanks for the excellent instructional video.
I'm going to build this device.
Could you describe which pedal pedal belongs to each button in the Soniit looper (mainly MODE, REC / PLAY ...). Thank you.
Does such a piece of software exist for an iPad? Could be an easier project using an old used iPad…
Hey can we build this using Teensy 4.0 ?
Amazing dude, your work is awesome. I want to do on for me. Can you do a video testing the pedal? I would like to know if its possible to play more than one layer in a single pedal.
In a single switch **
Brilliant work! ...sooooo...can I buy one?
Can you please link the pedals you used? Are keyboard sustain pedals good?
Fuck yeah dude. Thank you so much. This is now my new project. I have all those skills, and always wanted a loop pedal. Why not make my own :D
You have inspired me. Thanks :D
And I quite liked the tone of your video too. Decently paced, the videos in the background just added to the story, rather than needing to be narrated itself, and gave a lot of extra information about the build. And you were interesting to listen to :)
You gotta learn to solder tho bro!!!! Haha! It will improve the shit out of everything about all those connections. Deffinatly need to solder the stuff user the heatshrink, but I'd also solder the pedal cables directly to the nano.
Mine might even have little capacitive touch pads, so I can slide my fingers up and down each pad to change each input pad, to output from 0-255 each midi channel.
Rather than foot pedal I'll controll it on a desk or stand, and just spruce up the code a bit to match :p
like I said, you have inspired me!
Thankyou :)
Hello, how can I reach you? I am making the project and I need some help. Thanks
The Arduino Code doesn't work. An error message says that miss the library Midi.h
I had the same problem. Did you fixed it?
I had your same problem and being pretty novice I tried other solutions to achieve this result and I just found out that this library Midi.h you gotta find online and install in Arduino's libraries in order to work
I don't feel confident n taking apart my laptop, but your pedalboard is exactly what I would love to do!
Hey that’s great! Thought to me using a whole laptop seams overkill, can’t you do this with one microcontroller?
Interesting !!
I've never considered making my own Loopstation before ... It looks do-able .....
Have you posted a parts list?
This is awesome mate! I'm in the process of making my own using yours and Sonnit's as reference. Do you think it would be possible to make a tutorial on setting the whole thing up? I'm very new to the whole MIDI controller world so everything I know so far has come from your video and a couple of the old Sonnit tutorials but there are gaps in my knowledge I need to address.....
Bro have you done it already??
Bro have you done it.. need a guide
Everything is fine, but what are the parameters of the laptop used in the equipment? So what is the process and repentance??? Greetings from Poland :-)
Hi. How do you control the laptop and the software on it without a keyboard or mouse? Or is this only an autostart in Windows ?
but... how to set up mobius n shit?
How about the red and green LED like in eds pedal. is it not supported in this build?
hey, how much will it coast to build one?
Hey I was looking for some inspiration on my own build and I definitely found it here! One idea I had was to replace the laptop with a raspberry pie. This may actually be more reliable than the laptop because you can boot right into the software you want. The pi is also smaller and has gpio built in so no need for the Arduino. Also, a battery backup if you are going live would be sweet.
Hello Spencer! I'm completly noob on it, but I definitely wanna do it. My brother made me the same suggestion about the Raspberry Pi... Could you please give more details why exactly it won't need the Arduino? Is it possible to connect the pedals right to the raspberry?
@@JuniorMartins-fb5cw the Arduino was used for interfacing with the pedals. Basically it read high or low from gpio and sent that to the controller with a single line communication protocol. A PC can't do this because it doesn't have any gpio but the pi does have built in gpio
I don't have MIDI interface on my audio input unit....
Can I use USB midi direct from the arduino?
Thanks for the great tutorial.
I have one question! This foot pedals is the keyboard/piano kind?
Nice one. How much did it cost you and how much time would it take to build one?
Awesome man. Do you think you could do a pedal switcher one that does 20 pedals?
I've been wondering what to do with that old windows tablet I have...
Keeping the battery on the laptop would have been a good idea.... if you loose power during a show, you wouldn't have to wait for the laptop to reboot mid song.
*If you lose power you wouldn't be able to use an amp/stereo either...*
@@cotmouf The amp doesn't have to reboot every time it loses power. I think he's talking about someone kicking a chord loose, not a Statewide blackout.
@@xsterawesome I think he's talking about the audio interface inside the pedal.That needs power too.
@@zibbezabba2491 The audio interface is powered by the laptop.
@@xsterawesome Are you sure? My audio interface has a 9v power supply. Can't power that from a laptop. He used a DC in I think.
You are a genius
This actually has made me want to build mine too
Great video!!!! Thank you! Do you need to install m-audio software on the laptop?
What would the cost be to have you make a 4 track pedal mike the Boss RC300 but with 24 bit. Really interested! I have a voice live 3, and the boss rc300. Looking for a custom builder. Look me up.
How much did it all cost to build?
Hello. Could you email the AVR libraries for this project? Because I can't upload the software correctly.
But sir the sonnit looper app on laptop dosn't exist
heyy how will we configure the software on laptop ???how will it be always on because we removed all keyboard and stuff !
Wireless USB keyboard!
how much the total cost. excluded the Laptop and interface?
thanks dude for the idea ill try to make that
u're a magician, my first language is spanish so i dont get so well why u need the audio interface attached to it, why is it for?
Does a cpu speed of laptop matter for this? i mean can a laptop with pentium of atom cpu sufficient for this use?
Is der any latency difference in the signal processing? Or does it work just fine?
Just curious, how come you didn’t put in the bank button?
what are those pedals?
loved the vid!
You hope this was enough for us to “throw one of these together”?! I need a nap.
Hi there, I am in the process of building a looper like yours, however I am having difficulty with coding the Arduino Nano. doesn't seem as simple as you say in the video. I have downloaded the Arduino files that you have posted In the description, however it will not load into my nano. Is there some thing that I am missing. Do you have a file that you have already that I can copy and paste into the Arduino so it will all work for the looper.
Have you solved this problem?? need updates @davifloyd
how do you do the midi mapping?
Hey man, I'm pretty close to finishing mine! Only issue I have is with the code for the Arduino. It's not working in the sense that I can't get the mode switch to work. Also what scripts did you use for Mobius? Cheers man :)
Bro can you send me a picture of it on my email?? I was thinking about upgrading mine. maybe I could help you with the scripts and mobius settings im also using mobius as my looper
ramgicklandicho@gmail.com
@@Rain_Landicho Thanks so much man! Will send you a picture of it in an email in a minute - if you could help out with scripts etc. that'd be great! Cheers.
This is awesome, what would you say the approximate cost of the build was?
Also curious about that...
How much your loop you have Shop online?
Great stuff, two stupid questions :D Are you running those Jack outputs straight into the guitar amp? And can you plug those RCA into home cinema or HiFi, or guitar amp via rca-big Jack adapter?
This is so cool.
Great video. Great quality video and explanation. I hope your channel starts building.
Hello, yet 1 more question... Is the ardweno code writen specificly for you? Becous its not as simple as routing a button to a single code right? Becous when hitting the mode button the behavoure of your track buttons must change right... Or is that all taken care off when downloading the sonnit software?
Inside of the code there is a section to link the button to the specific pin on the Arduino. You can link as many as you need. Every button should have its own pin. Inside of the looping software is where you can link that button to what you want it to do.
So impressive man. Excellent stuff!!! I’m shook ... more power to you. 🙌🙌🏽🙌
Hey, i think you forget the MIDI.h file in your Arduino files :/ could you send it to me or paste a link for it please? :) i'd like to build it too :)
Very goofy Broo how much this pedal ? You send? Thanks
How are you controling the laptop? Its not like you can plug a mouse and keyboard in this thing right? Or is it toutchscreen or somthing?
I have a wireless keyboard if I need to make any changes. However, I've set the laptop to automatically boot into the looping software so it's not used often.
Aa that's smart dindt Think about that tnx
Hi! Just a question: how does Sonnit Looper Software open when you turn on the start button and the computer turns on ?
Did you ever figure this out?
yo this was amazing bro, now that its been a while using it did you hgave any issues with it later or is it pretty seemless???
Excellent video dude! I'm planning of making this using momentary switches father than the peadals (I sit when I play) and a raspberry pi 4 with touch screen.
What an awesome build!
Man, you're a fkn genius! Great work!
hi I want to ask
Is the hard disk fixed to the back of the screen together with the motherboard?
and Is it possible to copy the instructions you have written in the arduino software and then write them into arduino nano to control the software?
hope you reply
Yes, the hard drive is mounted to the back of the screen. You can definitely use the same file just as long as you connect the pedals to the same pins as I did!
cool,use neural dsp plugin on this pedal for gig,low budget quad cortex haha
man you're genius ! you have my subscription
Awesome! Wish I had the time for this sort of project ... . Nice.
Hi! Awesome project! Really nice.
Since your laptop no longer has a keyboard, are you using a touch screen?
Have you made any changes during the year since the video?
How much do they cost ??
any idea on how much this cost start to end?
Awesome lopper!!! Great job!!!
WO W ! Are you an engineer as well as musician ? 🎸🎸🎸
And one more qst: how do you control the built-in laptop?
Wireless keyboard!
that is bad ass. Bravo
You caught my attention so here is a sub and a like
This video did not age well. Tried to build this a few years ago, and it didnt work out, got back to it now, same issue. Here they are.
1. Sonnit looper doe not exist anymore - you might want to update the link - Mobius is so hard to work out, and every video tutorial on it has disappeared, really frustrating.
2. your arduino code misses files, such as the MIDI.h file, it does not compile without it. other codes available "seem" to work, but are for different boards.
3. even with midi passthrough on the arduino, any sort of alternative comms, devices or lights seems to absent from your vid, either you are hella good at figuring things out, or there is a fair bit missing from your video, or everything is now outdated/
an pdate and revamp of your board (going into a little further detail) would be really awesome. Cheers
Hi
My daughter who's a senior in high school is trying to build a pedal as well. She came up with some of the same issues as you.. Was wondering how you ended up getting past the arduino code that's missing the midi h file? If u happen to see this a little help or guidance for her would be greatly appreciated.
Thx🙂
I need one custom made
So I got it built. I got all the code to upload to the arduino so in theory everything is good to go. However, I'm stuck at the MIDI note mapping. Did you manually map the note values to each button? Or did you do it in the Sonnit software instead? I tried it in the Sonnit software but nothing happened when I pressed any of the pedals.....Please help, this is melting my brain.....
Did you test your MIDI pedal prior to using it in Sonnit? I suggest using MIDI-OX to test. It is a free software and there are tons of videos on how to use it. Once I knew my MIDI all worked I mapped all my pedals manually in the Sonnit software. I suspect there is something wrong in your Arduino code.
@@DidItMyself This was so helpful! It's good to see I've not gone completely wrong. After using MIDI-OX it seems that the MIDI controller is talking to the computer however it is not sending a MIDI note, the essential part of this whole exercise.....I imagine the next step is figure out how to get it to send MIDI notes which I imagine, like you said, is something to do with the Arduino......Thanks again for your reply, it really helped a lot.
Oliver Stapleton where did you get the code to program the arduino?
How good is the sound quality?
Sound quality is as good as your interface is.... The loop peddal itself is Just giving your computer info on how to control the software... No sound is going into the peddal
Love to make this with an old ipad...?
Not impossible to use an iPad. You may run into some limitations with performance, software and connecting an audio interface
How much would cost for you to make one for me?
I've got a project that maybe you can help me with. A raspberrypi loop station using reaper. I got the inspiration from diy chewie monsta (ed sheerans custom loop station) tutorials using a laptop and arduino... Like yours..But it would be much more compact and efficient if we could eliminate the arduino and laptop by using using a raspberry pi. Watcha think?
Raspberry is definitely an option! When I initially started this project I wanted to make it with a Raspberry Pi for the same reason - it's super compact. The two biggest hurdles I ran into were having simplified software and finding drivers for my audio interface to work. I scrapped the idea because using an old laptop running Windows simplified a lot. If you are going the Raspberry Pi root, I suggest you take a look at the Sooperlooper software. Good luck and keep me posted!
@@DidItMyself
I definitely will.
I think the biggest hurdle for me is the coding. As in figuring out how to map the pedals to the software from the pi's gpio. So if you stumble upon any helpful links please share. :)
I have a cheap behringer usb1202 2 in 1 mixer / audio interface. But if reaper or another software can run on the pi and do the mixing for me, I can sell it and get one to fit inside the enclosure. But yeah.. And also win 10 can run on the pi 4 decently, if you want to try the pi again.
This is awesome, im gonna build
One as well
